The world's first laptop with Technicolor Color Certification

Toshiba was quick to embrace Intel's Ultrabook form factor during its infancy, and now that 4K displays are gaining traction, here comes Toshiba once again. The Toshiba Satellite P55t is a 15.6-inch laptop with a 4K Ultra HD In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel, which offers up four times more pixels than a Full HD 1080p display. It's also supposedly the first notebook in the world to earn Technicolor Color Certification.

According to Toshiba, each Ultra HD display is individually calibrated by Chroma Tune and is Technicolor Certified during production for a more natural color expression and accurate color gamut. The end game here is to eliminate mismatches when viewing photos or other imagery.

"Our color certification team worked closely with the engineering team at Toshiba to ensure the highest levels of color calibration on this laptop's display," said Manuele Wahl, senior vice president, Licensing at Technicolor. "We applied the same rigor of testing and calibration used on major motion pictures to ensure not only that photographers and videographers now see what they shot in perfect color, but consumers can also experience 4K film and videos as Hollywood directors intended."

Wow 15.6" with 4k, you'll need a microscope to be able read at that density...
Although W8 comes with updated version of display scaling, it still doesn't work as well as on mobile devices (ehm android), especially on skinned programs.

Anyhow, I'm so glad that the ridiculous everyone-stuck-on-1080p era is finally getting some movement.

I'm pretty lenient when it comes to touchpads, and can make do with pretty bad equipment, but on my latest laptop, certain key combinations render the touchpad inoperable, meaning I have to choose between keyboard and mouse during gaming. Imagine how well that works. [SPOILER: It doesn't]

@Jason2393. Are you using an HP? I won one in a contest and the touchpad would lock when keys were being pressed. I can see why they did it but for gaming it's frustrating. I disabled it in the touchpad settings in control panel. Maybe yours has a similar function?

My current machine is a Lenovo Z710, which has a poor keyboard and mouse, but none of the mouse options take about disabling on key presses (it talks about a palm-tracking feature that likely tackles the issue from a different angle). The thing is, it's only certain key combos that trigger the mouse to lock, much like a cheap keyboard won't accept additional keys when you press certain ones.

Dumb without an SSD; anyone can have tons of external storage or the cloud. Us homeowner types want speed . Yes have a 17" with just 128 SSD, with NO CD drive and I might be interested--- make it an ultrabook.
